1. The capital "B" of the larger oval in footnote 1 is in a different font from the "B" in the text next to it.  This makes it harder to tell if they are, in fact, referring to the same "B".
2. ".i" is unncessary, if not wrong, after "ni'o" in the second group of sentences.
3. "mad'rid" is still wrong.  Apostrophes ("y'y bu") cannot come between consonants.  Use either "madrid" (with default stress on "ma" or "maDRID").
4. di'u "la .afrikas." is not on the map.
5. In "le remoi cipra" "bridla" should be "brivla".

General question:  Does "mo" have a place structure of its own?  IOW, is "la paris. mo la frans." correct?
